Story

Bloomsbury Football uses the power of football every week to improve the lives of 5000 young people in London. Having played football in the local area for a number of years 

They want to expand their programmes to reach those who need it most and need your support to do so. More than half of the children that Bloomsbury work with are eligible for free school meals. Bloomsbury are determined to provide opportunities to all of London's young people whether or not they can afford to pay. Their programmes make football accessible to all, create a sense of community by bringing together people from different backgrounds, improve the physical and mental health of children and develop life skills to improve school performance and career prospects.

With significant cuts to sport in the school curriculum and a lack of funding for both youth centres and community sports teams, it is now often charities that have to step in to provide access to sporting activities to those who families who may not be able to afford it. Bloomsbury Football need your help to continue to run their programmes and offer opportunities to young people across London. The funds raised will be invested in running more sessions on estates to reach the most disadvantaged kids and facilitate 1000s of new girls joining our programmes.
